Add a Livestream to your fundraiser to boost donor engagement.

Adding a Livestream to your fundraising Campaign helps you reach a broader audience, engage with your donors in creative ways, and raise more money. You can add a Livestream to any Campaign, including A-Thons, live Events, online Store, and Raffle or Sweepstakes drawings.

Ways to Use Livestreaming

• Host live Events that showcase speakers, present awards, or provide live entertainment.
• Stream competitions like pushup-a-thons or spelling bees.
• Hold Raffle or Sweepstakes drawings and reveal the winners in real time.
• Run an Auction and let viewers bid during the Livestream.
• Host sales that walk your audience through the offered Store items, QVC-style.

Encourage Donor Participation

Consider adding elements that help donors feel directly involved with your cause:

• Trivia that allows donors to answer from home and see the results onscreen.
• Surveys that let everyone share their thoughts and opinions.
• Featured donation amounts that encourage donors to give at a designated level and show exactly how their gift will impact your goals.
• Spotlight feature that draws attention to Auction items, Raffle prizes, or Store items to build excitement and boost sales.
• Live donation and comment feed that lets you thank donors on the spot and inspire more giving.
